As mentioned before, we got invited to see the exclusive screening of Valentino: The Last Emperor but due to our busy schedule on Friday, we had our ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR- MISS BOSS, attend the screening, her inside scoop below:
VALENTINO: THE LAST EMPEROR
The Last Emperor, indeed!
Focuses on a real-life emperor with his lavish and extensive lifestyle; full name Valentino Garavani. In addition to his couture clothes that are made stitch by stitch with no sewing machines insight and all his seamstresses wear white while they handle these fine fabrics. Just to experience his daily life and routine which included extensive homes filled with priceless art, his private jets and yachts, ridiculously lavish parties and ubiquitous string of beloved pug dogs who travel with him everywhere make his lifestyle nothing more then posh mixed with royalty.
Now to the man whom in my opinion made me the movie:
Giancarlo Giammetti, Valentino’s long-time lover and partner the intimate portrait of their intense, devoted 24/7/365 relationship. Giammetti is a dream husband: handsome, charmingly down-to-earth, incredibly tolerant and a business genius, who has financially kept the brand alive through the decades and made it a huge cash cow. Having watched this documentary you come to realize Valentino is not an easy person to be around, Giammetti emerges as the more interesting of the two men.
The highlight of the movie was by far the retirement via the grandest fashion blowout in Rome where the crème de la crème attended, ever conceived. We see the preparations for this affair, which epitomizes the gorgeous, venal, evanescent, bottom-line, high-low world of fashion itself.
In conclusion Valentino retired in 2007. His empire had changed hands several times new people coming in and people leaving the company for what ever reason; he is no longer the owner of V or his designs. That's the way of today's business sad but true.....
My over all view is The Last Emperor is a "Must See" for people with style, grace and Fashion in there Blood.
